Texas is a big place, but most of the major cities (Austin, DFW,
Houston, San Antonio) are fairly close to each other (~4 hours drive
max). I think a state-wide list would be better, especially if NetBSD
users are as rare as they seem to be :)
BTW, I don't suppose there's any sort of NetBSD users registry, where
one can fill in a ZIPcode or city or something, and find nearby
NetBSDers? NetBSD developers have <http://www.netbsd.org/gallery/xearth/>
which is pretty neat (although xearth's not too good with zooming in on
small areas... the Generic Mapping Tools can make prettier maps. See
http://www.azeotrope.org/~khym/ifpl/ for an example... inspired by the
NetBSD developer maps :)
Anyways, I'm in Austin... didn't know there was a netbsd-austin mailing
list though :) I remember seeing talk about starting regional mailing
lists, but must've missed the announcement about some actually getting
created :)
